These days, telling the waiter there's a fly in your soup is the least of your worries. Think of rats, roaches, flies, employees who don't wash their hands after going to the bathroom, bacteria-laden dishes, food poisoning, rotting food, and worse. So, this column (updated every 30 days) lists Dallas businesses that performed poorly on food inspections.

Dallas' Failing Health Inspection Scores

Dallas businesses serving food or beverages are graded on a scale of 0-100; a score of 80+ is considered acceptable.
Below, you'll find Dallas food establishments that received the following scores during the two-month period listed:
  • Unacceptable (59 or below) - immediate closure - marked Poo - has red background until receiving 70+ score
  • Failing (60-69) - reinspection required within 10 days - marked barf - has red background until receiving 70+ score
  • Passing (70-79) - reinspection required within 30 days - has yellow background until receiving 80+ score

Once a restaurant with any of the above ratings receives an 80+ score, it will be given a green background.
Restaurants that also received an Unacceptable or Failing score in the prior 10 months are marked with skull
